    O’Dea Fights for Job Opportunities for CT Veterans

    HARTFORD- In effort to accelerate the return of many of our state’s skilled veterans to the workforce, State Rep. Thomas O’Dea Jr. (New Canaan and Wilton) supported veterans’ legislation which helps facilitate that transition.

    HB-5387, An Act Establishing A Task Force To Study The Use Of Military Occupational Specialty Training As A Substitute For State Licensing Requirements, helps veterans transition into the workforce and educational institutions by establishing a task force to study the use of military occupational specialty training experience to satisfy training requirements for state licensing purposes and to examine military occupational specialty training and determine if any such training is equivalent to that required for state licensing purposes.

    “While serving our country here and abroad, servicemen and women receive countless hours of training,” Rep. O’Dea said. “The bill aids veterans in matching their skill set with professional licensing requirements and matching their military education with civilian school credits to optimize their employability. We owe it to our veterans to do everything possible to facilitate their integration into the civilian workforce,” said Rep. O’Dea.
